Everything close by, little space
Theft in Geuzenkwartier is double the national median, while burglary is virtually absent and violence and vandalism also stay below average. The safety score of 7.3 does not show that difference, but for anyone living here it makes all the difference: this is a neighbourhood where things disappear from the street, not where people's homes are broken into.
Density here is high and there is little greenery — under thirty per cent within three hundred metres — which holds the quiet & nature pillar at 3.5.
The third figure that stands out sits in the wealth & income pillar: almost one in ten homes is vacant, more than double the national level, while property value is practically on the median. Together with a social assistance rate above average, that holds the pillar at 5.2, despite an income picture that is better than average.

Frequently asked questions
Is Geuzenkwartier a safe neighbourhood?
For 2025, Geuzenkwartier comes out at 32 recorded crimes per 1,000 people present; the national middle is 24. That is more than in most Dutch neighbourhoods. Even so, the safety grade at the top of this page is 7.3. That grade weighs violence and burglary most heavily, and both are low here: of the 32 records per 1,000, 2.1 is violence. What gets counted is mostly theft — the picture of a business park or shopping area, not of an unsafe residential street. The figure is about what the police record, not about the people who live there.
How much crime is there in Geuzenkwartier?
In Geuzenkwartier the police recorded 205 crimes in 2025: theft, burglary, violence and vandalism combined. The comparison figure above (32 per 1,000) is not simply that count divided by the number of residents: we count residents plus workplaces, so a shopping street or station is not unfairly penalised, and for small counts we pull the figure towards the national average — otherwise a single incident would make a small neighbourhood look unsafe.
How is the grade for Geuzenkwartier calculated?
Geuzenkwartier scores 6.6 as its total score. That grade is a national position: we weigh five equally heavy scores — safety, amenities, wealth & income, quiet & nature and families — and see where Geuzenkwartier lands among every neighbourhood in the Netherlands. So it is not the mean of the five grades, but a place in the queue. All from open data published by CBS and the police.
